I dunno, he managed to kill a shitload of Chinamen, something a lot of other better generals never had the opportunity to do.

Nomination - Giap
First Runner Up - T.J. Jackson
Second Runner Up - R.E. Lee

Stonewall didn't measure up because he was batshit crazy, Lee because he lost the war. Giap was sane and won his war.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

How does a general leading troops against armies of the United States of America not qualify?

As the Confederacy was illegal, it doesn't count.

I am also patiently waiting for our substantial Canadian contingent to start tossing Isaac Brock's name about.  :P

You yanks have already nominated him.  :P

The OP thread starter has specifically said no ACW bullshit, and I have endorsed it.

Now you and Timmay get it through your thick fucking retardo skulls already.

Well, he's wrong. More americans were killed in battle by the CSA than all it's other enemies combined iirc. It's like discussing the enemies of the Jews while leaving out Hitler.

Heh.  That is only true if you count the CSA soldiers as Americans.
